These drivers should work for Odin. Heimdall has a driver remove/install app.

That tool should help you uninstall drivers too. You need to remove then install drivers. I don't think the tool i liked you is specific as it came from Samsung not sprint.

Rom manager

I heard from a thread that using rom manager bricks this phone if you have a partitition and I'd bought the premium version before partitioning my sd card, just want to ask, is this true?

Go on CWM, its healthier for our Ace!
It has nothing to do with having a partition or not.
It bricks the phone anyways. Better remove that app, its dangerous if you don't know what functions of it can be used safely.
Oh, so the whole thing bricks it? Why is that, also I am using cwm anyways

Mostly the motherboard i think, people reported that they had to get new a motherboard installed in order to unbrick it.
Hmm, that's confused me, I thought it would have broke it system wise. I know how to flash, root, etc, but I'm not exactly sure how they all work, but I thought that flashing just overwrit the system+os. So two questions, when you root/flash does that interact with the hardware in anyway and how?

P.S Its a joke, don't actually try that.

Rom manager ... flashes new recovery ... with wrong mounting points ... making your phone useless it will be like having the light switch of your kitchen in your bed room and your bed room light switch on your attic ... know what i mean? Nothing will work !! Since the phone will change the mp to points that dont exist on your phone.
Just flash cwm from stock recovery or from odin and you'll be ok

[Q] Eclipse ADT sees my device but adt debugging doesn't work

I used to write apps for my phone and run them through adb, but recently I tried to do it and I realized I can't. USB drivers are installed, eclipse sees my phone, in android console it writes that application is installed but on my phone the app is not installed and won't run. But if I install the apk manually and then try to run it, it runs without any problems so I don't think there's any error in the code. Can you please help me?
Hi fellow dev!
What version of Eclipse are you using?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

No rom, no rom in recovery to flash, no backup

Pretty much just that. Not sure what to do. Flashed trickdroid 5.3 and like the ****ty luck I always have with any phone, data stopped transferring to the phone via usb. I could take it off, but when I tried to put **** on it said "Phone has either been disconnected or isn't available" or something like that. Got ARHD 8.0 on my phone via adb push, thought **** was good so I formatted the **** out of my phone, go to flash it and it's a "bad" rom. Lmao ok. ****. Any tips?
You curse a lot. If you can access recovery mode. Download a flash able Stock ROM and install it through recovery.
